Chris Tucker is a bona fide movie star. His role in the âRush Hourâ franchise helped propelled it to a nearly $850 million worldwide box office.

Considering his status in Hollywood, itâs a big deal that he will be making an Inland stop on his stand-up tour, when he plays San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino Thursday, Sept. 5.

Tucker notably burst on the scene when he stole âFridayâ right out from under Ice Cube.

Proving that he could do more than comedy, he turned in memorable performances in âDead Presidents,â âThe Fifth Elementâ and âJackie Brown.â However, it was the âRush Hourâ movies that made him an international superstar.

Following the third film in the series, he took a long break from acting and began to travel extensively while promoting his humanitarian work.

With his return to his stand-up roots, he has shown some of the early spark he had as Smokey in âFriday,â while bringing along his movie star charisma.

The tour has been everywhere from Australia to Abu Dhabi, so naturally Highland, Calif., is his next stop.

Though Tucker hasnât announced his next project, Internet Movie Database has âRush Hour 4â rumored. As long as Jackie Chan can keep jumping off of buildings, they will keep making those movies.
